- TTomLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoAwesome atmosphere, great food, and the staff was fantastic. Special shout out to Khalid during tea service and Lauren at the bar who made one of the best ever holiday specialty drinks, the “Holiday Spirt”. The doorman was especially helpful while hailing a cab and assisting with our holiday shopping bags.More infoThe Palm Court at The Plaza HotelPrice: Very Expensive• American• Midtown East•4.4
- MMimiNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoSpent a several nights in Midtown and dined with three Italian restaurants. QI is the hands down favorite …. Excelling in every way…. Made us feel special… Very busy Christmas season, but never felt hurried or rushed to turn our table. It’s a place with a vibe, and that was fun… We will be back and want to visit the QBistro and QMeats!More infoQuality Italian - New YorkPrice: Expensive• Italian• Midtown West•4.7
- PPatriciaNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThere were 10 of us & we had made reservations at 5 pm as we had 7 pm theater tickets. Our table was ready for us upon arrival & our waiter was friendly & on point from start to finish. Service was great without feeling rushed & his wine suggestion was perfect. The portions are huge so we started with the calamari & Caesar salad which was plenty for all of us & both very good. We chose 4 dishes, Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Scaloppine, Rigatoni & Broccoli, & Penne alla Vodka & all were delicious. We all commnted that the Penne was the best we’d had as the sauce was not too heavy & perfectly spiced. Although we could have only ordered 3 dishes, we all enjoyed the variety of the 4 choices. We finished off with cappuccinos for the table & made it to the theater with 15 minutes to spare. We couldn’t have picked a better restaurant & the bonus was it was very reasonable. Great job Carmine’s!!More infoCarmine's - 44th Street - NYCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Theater District•4.6
